To install a Logitech K360 keyboard, insert the two AA batteries, slide the power switch on the top right edge to ON, and plug the included Unifying receiver into a USB port on your Windows 10 or later computer, the keyboard and receiver are pre-paired, so typing works immediately. If you need to connect the keyboard to a different computer or replace a lost receiver, you can use the Logitech Unifying software to pair it again.
What you need to install your Logitech K360 keyboard
Before you start, gather everything that came in the box: the K360 keyboard, the Logitech Unifying receiver (a small USB dongle with an orange logo), and the user manual. You will also need two AA batteries, which are not included. The K360 is compatible with computers running Windows 10 or later, and it has an approximate 36-month battery life once powered on.
Insert the batteries and locate the power switch
- Turn the keyboard over and find the battery compartment on the bottom.
- Slide the latch to unlock the cover, then remove it.
- Insert the two AA batteries, matching the positive (+) and negative (−) symbols printed inside the compartment.
- Replace the cover and slide the latch back until it clicks securely.
- On the top right edge of the keyboard, slide the power switch to the ON position.
The power switch is the only physical control on the keyboard besides the keys themselves. If the keyboard does not respond after powering on, double-check that the batteries are seated firmly and the polarity is correct.
Plug in the Unifying receiver and turn on the keyboard
The Unifying receiver has a bright orange logo on its casing, that is how you identify it. Plug the receiver directly into a USB port on your computer. Avoid using a USB hub, because hubs can sometimes interrupt the wireless signal; a direct port gives the most reliable connection. The K360 and its receiver are pre-paired at the factory, so no manual pairing is needed. Once the receiver is inserted and the keyboard is powered on, the connection is established automatically. The wireless range is approximately 33 feet (10 meters), so you can type from across the room as long as nothing blocks the signal path.
Test your K360 keyboard
Open a text editor such as Notepad or WordPad and type a few sentences. Verify that every letter, number, and punctuation key registers correctly. Then press the media and function keys along the top row, these control volume, playback, and other shortcuts, to confirm they respond. Finally, use the arrow keys and the cursor keys to navigate through a document or web page; they should move smoothly in all four directions. If any key feels unresponsive or types the wrong character, revisit the troubleshooting section below before moving on.
Re-pair or add devices with Logitech Unifying Software
You might need to re-pair the keyboard if the connection drops after moving the receiver to a different computer, or if you want to add the K360 to a setup that already uses another Unifying receiver. The Logitech Unifying software lets you connect keyboard and up to six compatible devices to a single receiver, so you can consolidate multiple wireless peripherals into one USB port. If you've misplaced the receiver entirely, you may need to connect Logitech wireless keyboard k270 without receiver using Bluetooth instead. Download the software from www.logitech.com/unifying, then open it by going to Start / All Programs / Logitech / Unifying / Logitech Unifying Software. Follow the on-screen prompts to connect a Logitech wireless keyboard to a different receiver, the software will walk you through turning the keyboard off and on to complete the pairing.
Troubleshooting a K360 keyboard that won't type
If the keyboard produces no output, start with the basics: confirm the power switch on the top right edge is set to ON, and check that the two AA batteries are inserted with the correct polarity. If that fails, unplug the Unifying receiver and plug it into a different USB port directly on the computer, not through a hub. Replace the batteries with fresh ones if they are old or weak. Wireless interference can also cause problems, so move the keyboard closer to the receiver and keep the receiver away from other electronic devices like routers, monitors, or cordless phones. If the enhanced F-keys are not performing their printed actions, you can reprogram them using Logi Options+, the next-generation customization software from Logitech (the older Logitech Options app is no longer supported). Open Logi Options+, select your K360, and assign the F-keys to the functions you prefer.
